I wanna say if you do a video on the penguin movies, don’t forget that March of the Penguins also came out around the same time as Happy Feet, and grossed over $125 million worldwide, even though it was literally just a documentary about penguins. There was legitimately something INSANE going on with penguins during the mid 00’s.

As a Frankie who grew up absolutely obsessed with this film, I am so satisfied by this. Shame I was killed by an anchor. Also, Mike, I wish you had the DVD, because there were about a billion special features and easter eggs, including this surreal full-cast dance-off sequence and if I'm not mistaken, a whale-wash mini game? The SF menu was just the fish-city scene but you could select different signs and open secret menus.

At 3:40 , Stephen Spielberg is one of the founders of Dreamworks so that why they could use the Jaws music lol (Though that does imply that Stephen Spielberg, like Schrödinger’s cat, simultaneously exists in both as a director of a movie in the universe of Shark Tale and as one of the people who brought that very universe into being).

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if you’d already made a Shark Tale video, Mike. You know we’d all happily watch a second one.

bc of defunctland's disney channel jingle video every time i hear about nemo i think about the disney marketing person he interviewed that said "for a year before nemo came out, in every programing break, we added some fish facts, it was basically subliminal messaging" so maybe the pixar/dreamworks fish year wasn't such a coincidence, much to think about

"but i mean who watched The Wild?" ME 😭 i had it on dvd as a kid and watched it weekly, ngl idk how well it holds up now but rest assured there was at least one of us out there obsessed w that movie

i swear to god mister microphone could summarise the crustiest movie in existence and I'd still watch

I think Mike talked too much about this movie so we collectively made a Mike's mic video in our heads

Love that Michael is turning more and more into schaffrilas productions as we speak

The comedic “BONK” sound near 20:02 got me cackling aloud

When he said we're all stressed worms on the fish hook of life...I felt that

i need everyone in this comment section to know that when i was in elementary school, my school put on a musical/play that combined a bunch of early 2000's movies into one titled "a pirate's dream" where the students from high school musical went on a vacation on the pirates of the carribean ship but crashed into madagascar where they ran into the surf's up penguins and alvin and the chipmunks, had to rescue garfield (which plot-wise was sharpay's pet) from a bunch of disney villains, and at the end, took their ship to a car wash... the fish tales car wash.

I remember being on a plane to Germany as a child and one of the only movies available was Shark Tale so I watched it like 5 times in a row. That and the That’s So Raven episode where she turns into a cow.

So confused when I saw this video was released. I was full on convinced that you had already uploaded a shark tale video. I’m glad you addressed the Mandela effect we’re all apparently experiencing.

Calling this a mafia movie is an immediate yes from me

I love how Mike basically has invented his own language of memes and pop culture references that us rats are now fluent in 😂

The funniest about Oscar "killing" Frankie and Lenny is that it doesn't look like him defending the city (or himself) against sharks but but it looks like he's taking a hit against the family lol

The amount of times I replayed Mike going “im a vegetarian and I’m not fuckin scared of him” in an Italian accent is wildn out wit nick canon

Let's not forget how iconic the bonus feature games were on the DVD! You could bet on the seahorses, dress up -Lenny- Sebastian the dolphin (and give him an afro if you so pleased), and my mom and I would always play the fish eat fish game together! This entire movie is iconic!

I swear this movie is a masterpiece in my eyes, I had it on repeat as a child, I can memorize the movie line for line, Will smith was a fool he had me dying the entire movie, and of course the soundtrack was extremely fire. Loved the movie back then and I love it even more now.

thank you for addressing the greatest piece of cinema with a profound plot and the strongest cast ever heard of

You 1000% did a video on Shark Tale but I will happily watch again

The soundtrack for this movie went so hard!! I still listen to it regularly

watched this yesterday because I could feel the greatness brewing, like what do you mean Robert de Niro is a mafia shark who's son is a vegetarian.

I think I saw all of these mid-2000s 3D animal comedy movies at around 2 or 3 in the morning at various sleepovers, and all the memories of watching them feel like fever dreams now

I was literally drowning in my own tears and checking for new videos everyday and HERE WE ARE THANK GOD. Old videos were just not enough!!!!

Yes, but Robert de Niro being Don Corleone in The godfather and being Don Lino in Sharktale. Iconic.

I never considered shark tale to be a “mafia movie” until I saw this title.. Also I really hope you talk about the Jack black shark being vegetarian as an allegory for being gay 🏳️‍🌈 18:55 YUGIOH MENTION HELL YEAH BABY

“My name is…suspiciously, still ‘Mike.’” LMFAO

Secret Love by Jojo on that soundtrack was my jam for an entire year. I completely forgot about it until this video

Mike's just so freaking funny, man

We appreciate how well you've articulated your own insights. Keep working hard.

For a long time I actually thought I made up The Wild in a dream, because it's strangely similar to Madascar but bad. Also I remember seeing it in a different language in a laser game hall / cinema when I was nine. Edit: it wasn't a different language I looked it up and the Dutch version apparently has Belgian voice actors in it and I couldn't understand the Flemish dialect as a child (I still can't)

The influence these videos have had on my day to day speak
